User Interface and better user experience? Better use of Motion Detection? Remote control cameras / devices?

Can we put both together? hmm.. using accelerator to remote control a car.. how cool is that..=p

Nearly Done with what i want for my FYP CA2. Its more of the top layer being uncovered and many more layers to go. But i did add a few features and im pretty pleased with my result. Shall post an applet once im done.

Implementing machine learning? Possible using weighted phrases and sentences? Still puzzling but I do believe i’ll get it soon enough..

On the other hand, i was implementing a perl script to parse a log file into mysql database. So far seems pretty easy, left with implementing the correct data type for some of the variables.  

Busy busy busy. and im still puzzled with ms robotics studio.

was trying to use PHP, mysql, IIS and joomla.

somehow, i keep getting this error

Unable to connect to the database:The MySQL adapter “mysql” is not available.

well. most forum says its my php not having the extension and php.ini not having the extension as follows:

extension=php_mysql.dll

I install and uninstall countless times, removed the ini in the process too to make sure things are properly installed. and i check my php.ini and the extension is there.. the dll file is there too.

I dunt understand whats wrong.. zzz. maybe its the lack of sleep…

on the sidenote.. im trying out symfony. hopefully it’ll be good. =) and learning cron jobs and some bash scripts.. =)

wanted to record some wav files for acoustic model.in speech recognition..

tried the simplest of tool: windows sound recorder.

and guess what?

receive a error as follows:

Not enough memory available to complete this operation. Quit one or more applications to increase available memory, and then try again

Tried googling the error and found that this is a design limitation in sound recorder and this problem will occurs when amount of available physical memory is more than 2GB.

zzz.

Open source is much better. Audacity Rules!
